PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and Mrs. Cleve-
land leave the national capital this morning
on an extended tour to the northwest,
west, and south. The NATIONAL REPUBLI.
CAN believes and hopes that the President
will be greeted everywhere he travels by the
American people with the utmost respect
and cordiality. The Presidential office of
these United States is the most exalted
position among the rulers Of the earth.
The custom established by many Of our
Presidents of visiting the people of all sec
tions of the republic during their term of Of
flee is a most excellent one. In the case OF
President Cleveland it is absolutely neces-
sary in the best interests Of all the people,
that he should make this extensive journey.
Our citizens will dnd in the President q
natu, al, pan-mannered man, anxious to
learn the truth, close observer, with re-
tertive memory. When matters are pre-.
rented TO him he will give conslierate at
tertiop, ard oftentimes put very direct
questions, which touch the narrow of the
subject. 1t will be well for the people to
avail themselves of every proper opportu-
nifty to impress upon the attention of the
President the urgent necessity for the ex.
pansion OF the currency and the destructive
effect Of his contraction policy upon al
our material interests.

New York Republican Platform.

3. We adhere firmly to the American policy,
under whose operation unexampled prosperity
and thrift have blessed the land, and hold
that sny changes to be made in the tariff laws
should be made by the friends Of those laws,
and in the interest of protection of labor on
our own soil and of home markets, not by or
in the interest OF free trade propagandists not
for the benefit of foreign producers and foreign
labor. National taxation should be so ad
iusted as to raise revenue sufficient for an
economic and wise administration of the gov
eminent, for the payment of the public debt
for the development of national resources,
and for national defense; but any reduction
should be so made as not to impair the pros
perity of home industries. American markets
must be preserved to the products of American
labor and capital, and protected from foreign
encroachments.
National Republican., 1887-09-30

THE platform adopted by the Democrats
Of New York would be curious and In
teresting study, If 1t were possible to make
something out Of nothing, but as 1t is not,
study Of the platform is time thrown away.
The first plank Of the platform is a tumble
Of nonsense about the tariff. The second
is q full bid for the foreign vote based upon
a false statement. The third would make
a horse laugh, as 1t indorses civil service
reform. The fourth is even more provoc-
ative Of hilarity, as 1t claims that the
Democrats are the special friends OF the
soldiers. The fifth deplores the wrongs in
illcted on Ireland, whilst Congressman
Hewitt, the Democratic mayor of New
York, apologies to the English min-
lister for the passage of resolution
through Congress in favor Of home rule.
Tho Others are local except the Endorsement
OF the administration. The Republican
majority In New York this year will be
very large. The Presidents friends con-
trollel the convention.

The Policy of Contraction.

The administration OF President Clevc
land has from its beginning had no def.
mite policy, save upon two subjects, aud
they are so intimately connected that on
many things they are one. These subjects
are ''the finances" and "the tariff"
The policy as to finances has been con.
traction. Even before his Inauguration, on
the oath of February, 1885, President Cleve-
land wrote letter to Gen. A. j. Warner
and other members Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, advising them to repeal the
law which directed the expenditure OF
s2,000,00O, and authorized the expenditure
Of 100000 every month In the purchase
OF silver bullion to be coined into silver dol
lars.
In his first message to Congress Preside nj
Cleveland restated his ideas upon this sub
ject, but left 1t to his Secretary OF the
Treasury-his chosen friend and most inti-
mate counselor-Mr. Daniel Manning, to
fully discuss in his first report to Congress
the questions OF finance and the tariff.
Secretary Manning discharged that duty
In most elaborate manner, and, as every
one knows, expressed the views of the ad.
ministration. In this report Mr.. Manning
denounces the currency system as one Of
''disorder," and Of the grand policy which
has built UP our manufactures, diversified
the industries OF the country, and paid to
the American workingman the highest
wages ever paid to labor, Mr.. Manning
says: Sand SO the belief has spread .
that the mixture Of private jobs and past
public needs in our tariff is a system Of pro
lection to American labor"
Mr.. Manning gives twenty pages OF his
report to currency REFORM" and most of
these pages are devoted to enforcing the
recommendation of President Cleveland in
his letter to Mr.. Warner, that silver coinage
should be abolished. He says;
The disorders OF our currency chiefly arise
from the operation of two enactments:
/. The act of Feb. 2S, 1878, which has been
construed as permanent appropriation for
perpetual treasury purchases of at least s4,-
100000 worth of silver per annum, although
from causes mostly foreign that metal is now
of mutable and falling value, which must be
manufactured into coins of unlimited legal
tender ana issued to the people of the United
States as equivalents of our monetary unit.
p The act of May 81, 1878, which indefinitely
postponed nlallment of the solemn pledge
IhGrch Is, 1850 not only of redemption" but
also OF payment of all the obligations of the
United States not bearing interest, legallzed az
e3i6, ,OOO, 900 paper money of unlimited legal ten
der. and required the post.redemption issue
and reissue OF these promises to pay dollars as
equivalents of sur monetary unit,
Mr.. Manning practlced his policy OF con-
fraction and Mr.. Fairchild has continued
It, because II is the settled policy of the ad-
ministration, and the only question except,
as before stated, the tariff, upon which II
has settled and defined policy,
The attempt has been made by the ad-
ninistration and its friends to hold the Re.

Mount Vernon Avenue Association.

The executive board Of this association
met at Alexandra yesterday afternoon aud
formed permanent organization. Mayor
smoot, of Alexandria, was unanimously
elected president; II. A. Willard, Of Wash
ingtop, vice president; NJ. b. Harlow, of
Alexandria, secretary and treasurer; and
Mr.. f. w. Fox, of Washington, correspond
ing secretary. On motion Of Mr.. jeff
Chandler, the president, was authorized to
appoint standing committees, aud, on his
motion, the name "Mount Vernon Avenue
Association" was adopted. The letter Of
Gov. Stevenson, Of Nevada, was read aud
applauded, and a vote Of thanks to the
governor passed for his kindly and enthu-
siastic letter Of encouragement, which was
put upon the records. Nearly every men,
ber Of the board was present, and the de-
liberate judgment OF all was expressed as
to the certainty of the success of the enter
prise.

in marked contrast with the evasive aud
muddled platform adopted by the New
York Democrats is that made by the Re
publicans of Massachusetts, on tho same
day. The Republicans knew what their
party advocated and made the statement In
well-chosen, crisp sentences, and 1t did not
require the committee On resolutions to sit
eighteen hours, as In New York, to try and
find words that would be acceptable to all
the various factions calling themselve-
Democrats. We copy three of these reso
lutions, which, we believe, express Repub-
llcan sentiment everywhere and will be in
dorsed by thinking men out Of the party
as embodying policy which, carried out,
would greatly conduce to the good of the
whole country:
We believe in u protective tariff, recognizing
the benefits II brings to our country by giving
our people more varied industries, more con.
slant employment, and better remuneration: (:
furnishing an incentive for the full develoL =
ment Of our resources and securing our mar
kets-the best in the world-to our own pro-
ducers.
We favor liberal appropriations for the re.
construction Of our navy, for internal improve
ments, and for proper national aid TO educa-
tion; also pensions for disabled soldiers and
ailors. Tomeet furtherthe question of treas.
ury surplus we recommend such a reduction OF
internal revenue taxation as the exigencies OF
the case may require. The time has come for
Congress carefully to consider the question OF
the internal revenue system and OF the tariff
on sugar, and the improvement of the admin
istTation Of our customs laws, especially in re-
gard to fraudulent undervaluations.
We believe in an honest ballot, both north
and south, and that every citizen should be al
| lowed TO vote and have his vote counted. We
| condt mn the systematic suppression of the Re
| publican vote in the southern states and the
recent unblushing election frauds in certain
northern cities. The maintenance of the purity
AVID the safety Of the ballot box is and Away
shall be a cardinal Republican principle.
